She grinned and lowered to a knee. “I suppose so.”
THE END
Thank you for reading
Rough Ride
. I hope you enjoyed Lane and Gretchen as much as I did. When I started their story, I was unsure about a lot. They were pretty secretive people, but before I knew it, they opened. Lane revealed guilty secrets and Gretchen became a woman with an unexpected big heart. Became a woman with so much hope and faith. And good thing, because that’s exactly what Lane needed.
Trent and Jacob added a surprising bit of fun, but not on the level that Tonya and Flora did. Every girl needs a pair of girlfriends in her back pocket, and I was thrilled with the balance of their friendship. As the series continues, I can’t wait to share these friendships further with you.
If you haven’t already guessed, Jacob and Flora are next, in their story,
Rough Play
. I hope you’ll join me on their romance, which is anything but easy. Grab yourself a fork because there will be tons of pie, growing friendships and romance ahead!

Excerpt
“There was talk of you not wearing shorts or else the tool belt would wrinkle them.”
She laughed. “That was for a date. This isn’t a date.”
“Says who?” His eyes were dark, but there was still this sparkle in them which shuddered through her. “You’re here. I’m here. We’re talking, laughing. And there’s food.”
She pulled the pipe wrench from her belt and started on the clog. “It’s not a date. I don’t like to date. And the only food is clogged down the drain. I’ll pass.”
“Actually, you said you’d go on one if I told you how my dream ended.”
“
Actually
,” She glanced back to him and then returned to loosening the collar. “I said I’d think about it.”
“It ended with us sweaty, naked, and you screaming my name and calling me a god.”
“I just bet it did.” And it probably would, if they made it there. Not that she’d kissed him to even know, but she just knew. It was science or pheromones or something. Nature trying to work its thing.
“So what about tomorrow night?”
She chuckled and bent over for more angle to loosen the pipes. “Already told you I don’t like to date.”
“What do you like, Flora?”
She gave the pipe one last good twist, the pipe loosened and flopped in the bucket, water gurgled and sucked from the sink. She lifted the P-trap and looked inside. Food was crammed and packed in from end-to-end. She pulled her pencil from her belt and dug the food from the pipe. Rolls, bones, and potato salad flopped out in the bucket. To be honest, she wasn’t sure how he got all that shit this far down the drain.
Jacob squatted behind her. Close enough his rain clean scent was stronger than the barbeque-scented drain. “What do you think?”
She swallowed any roughness from of her throat and focused on maintaining their fun banter. “I think clogging your drain with rib bones and dinner rolls is a pretty pathetic way of getting a girl in your house.”
He grinned. “Worked though, didn’t it?”
She rolled her eyes and leaned back under the sink to reattach the pipe. “You’re going to be charged for this after hours service call, you know. Purposely clogging your drain isn’t covered under your rental agreement.”
“It was worth it. Are you going to get pissed off if I touch your hair?”
Keri Ford was raised in South Arkansas on a farm surrounded by family, horses, cows, donkeys, ostriches, emus, chickens, ducks, Canadian Geese, and enough dogs one would think they were a pound…and then she bought a
Cosmopolitan
when she was twenty-two. She doesn’t recall the fantastic sex tip that drew her to the magazine, but she vividly remembers reading an excerpt of Christina’s Skye’s

I didn’t know people wrote stuff like this…
and her life would never be the same.
